As others have said, Saints wanted rid of Eastmond with immediate effect so we could replace him but could not come to terms on compensation with Bath.
If Saints wanted to let Eastmond go before the end of the season they would have to pay out his contract.
I hope to God we start to see more committed displays from him now this is resolved and, failing that, I hope Royce has the conviction to make him play for the reserves because any more displays like Friday night and there will be riots at Widnes!
I don't know who your source is, but that indicates to me that the club have been the cause of the delayed announcement rather than Eastmond.
I just hope we don't boo him if he plays, we need to be supporting every player in the Red V if they are putting the effort in. And it will effect the rest of the team, moreso than a player deciding to take a contract elsewhere, which happens every year.
